Codebase in applet tag

hi
Here is my html file
<html>
<body>
<applet codebase = "Coorclasses/" code = "CoordinateConverterApplet.class" archive = "FITSWCS.jar" width=380 height=400></applet>
</body>
</html>
It works fine.In the above case my ".class" file (CoordinateConverterApplet.class) and the archive file(FITSWCS.jar) sits under the same directory(Coorclasses).
My question is can i have my archive file ie.(FITSWCS.jar) in one directory and have my ".class" file(CoordinateConverterApplet.class) in some other directory?if i can have them in different directories how can i give the "codebase attribute" for them because in this case they reside in different directories.
thanks

The browser needs to download the class files just like any other resource (.gif, .css, .js, .html) etc. . .
My guess is that your app server won't let files be served from the WEB-INF (since it is a protected directory who's purpose is configuraiton and SERVER SIDE classes).
jar up all of your applet specific class files and put them in the webapp - but not the WEB-INF dir.
For instance, you may have
webapp-root/
|- index.jsp
|- another_page.jsp
|- applet_page.jsp
|- images
|- image.gif
|- applet.jar
|- WEB-INF
|- classes
|- lib

applet tag vs Object tag

As per W3Schools HTML applet tag is not supported in HTML5. Need to use <Object> tag instead of <applet> tag.
For more details follow this link: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_applet.asp
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/obsolete.html#the-applet-element
Point 11.2 Non-conforming features
So, I go ahead and the change the code as below depicted.
Below code that is working with <APPLET> tag:
+<Applet+
style    = "position:absolute;border:0px;left:184;top:95;height:180;width:364;"
code     = "jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class"
name     = "TreeView"
id       = "TreeView"
hspace   = "0"
vspace   = "0"
align    = "top"
archive = "/Project/HTML/ABC/XYZ.jar,/Project/HTML/ABC/ABC.jar"
MAYSCRIPT>
+<PARAM NAME="onSelected" VALUE="onSelect_Handler">+
+<PARAM NAME="onFinishNormalize" VALUE="onFinishNormalize_Handler">+
+</Applet>+
Here is the snippet, whcih have been changed to <OBJECT> tag so as to support HTML5 in future:
+<OBJECT type=" application/x-java-applet"+
style    = "position:absolute;border:0px;left:184;top:95;height:180;width:364;"
name     = "TreeView"
id       = "TreeView"
hspace   = "0"
vspace   = "0"
align    = "top"
+>+
+<PARAM name="code" value=”jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class”>+
+<PARAM name="codebase" value="/Project/HTML/ABC/">+
+<PARAM name="archive" value=" XYZ.jar">+
+<PARAM name="archive" value=" ABC.jar">+
+<PARAM name="scriptable" value="true">+
+<PARAM NAME="onSelected" VALUE="onSelect_Handler">+
+<PARAM NAME="onFinishNormalize" VALUE="onFinishNormalize_Handler">+
+</OBJECT>+
After changing the *<applet>* tag to *<object>* tag , my applet itself is not loading and it gives class not found exception for jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class.
(Note: For both working and not working condition, I am using latest JDK 1.7 update 9 for compiling the code and in my system I am having latest JRE1.7 update 9 to run the applet code. I am using InternetExplorer 8 and InternetExplorer 9 browser)
Can anybody help me to find out where I am going wrong?

You might want to stick to the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/index.html
and use the deployment toolkit.
PS: use \ tags when posting anything code related. That makes it readable and it keeps the forum from trying to interpret it.

Applet tag question

I am working with applets and have been getting the classdefnotfounderror exception and a wrong name error.
After pouring over the archives and messing around, I have found a
solution to my problem, but I don't know why it works. I think it has to do with packages, but I'm not sure.
I have two versions of Asteroids, one which has "package Asteroids" at the top
of each file, and one that has no package.
First with the version that is in a package: If I have the html file in the
same directory as the class files, I cannot get the applet tag to work
properly. If I back it up a directory (just outside the Asteroids directory), this works:
<applet
codebase = "."
code     = "Asteroids/Asteroids.class"
width    = "640"
height   = "480"
</applet>
{code}
One old post I found said that the wrong name error indicates that the qualified name is incorrect ( so my incorrect name would be Asteroids.class) and that the full name should include the package, so mine would be Asteroids/Asteroids.class, I think. Is that correct? If so, why wouldn't this code work inside the same directory as the class files?
For the version that is not in a package, the opposite seems to work.
{code:java}
<applet
codebase = "Asteroids/"
code     = "Asteroids.class"
width    = "640"
height   = "480"
</applet>
{code}
This code works for the version which is not in a package, but does not work for the version in a package, ( and vice versa for the code above). It seems like either code should work in either case. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Matt

I don't know what your understanding of packages and applet codebase is. These 2 tutorial sections should clarify your understanding, though.

APPLET tag missing CODE parameter

We are planning to use WebStart for our swing_apps deployment. At the moment we use applets with Plug-In 1.3.1_04
I changed the html as follows:
<OBJECT CODEBASE="http://java.sun.com/update/1.3.1/jinstall-1_3_1_04-win.cab"
classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" width="0" height="0">
<PARAM NAME="app" VALUE="myServer/myWebApp/wsapps.jnlp">
     <PARAM NAME="back" VALUE="true">
     
     Download Java Web Start
</OBJECT>
When loading the page from the server we get following error:
"APPLET tag missing CODE parameter"
When I load "myServer/myWebApp/wsapps.jnlp" directly from the browser, the application runs fine.
any idea's?

To have web start run your application, it just needs to open the JNLP file in the browser.
You do not need the OBJECT tag since your are pointing it to a JNLP file and not an applet.
just use an HREF to your JNLP file
Run Application

I have a sample applet tag in my browser

Here is the applet tag in my browser
<applet id="Laufschrift1" name="Laufschrift1" code=
"TickerTape.class" codebase="../../scripts/" height="25"
width="780">
What does ../../scripts denote.
As far as i know CODEBASE = ./ denotes the current directory or the classpath + the classname
But i have seen CODEBASE = ../../scripts/ for the first time.
Supposing that the webpage address is www.abc.com then CODEBASE = ../../scripts/ will be ??
I am new to java and so i need someone's help

"../" means "the directory above". So "../../scripts/" means "the directory named scripts located in the directory two levels above the current directory."

Whats wrong with this applet TAG

Hi,
Any ideas why this tag:
<APPLET
codebase="/applet"
archive="JavaLibrary1.jar"
code="org.gregnet.NewJApplet.class"
width=350 height=200>
</APPLET>
results my web server is giving an error indicating it can't find anything at: "/applet/org/gregnet/NewJApplet.class"?? It's kind of like the ARCHIVE parameter it's being recognised? My web server I assume should only see the applet calling into the "http://<<domain>>/applet/JavaLibrary1.jar" address based on my applet tag (i.e. the code parameter should be used to form part of the HTTP request path I assume)
Any ideas?

Try the applet in Appleteer. See if that explains things better.

Problem of APPLET TAG

Hi,
I created an applet (extends JApplet).
if the applet is not packaged, it can be displayed properly on HTML page with tag:
<applet
codebase="file:///F:/temp/paper"
code="UserJApplet.class"
width=400 height=300
>
</applet>
but if It is packaged, it can not be displayed.
HTML TAG is following:
<applet
codebase="file:///F:/temp/paper"
code="java.test.UserJApplet.class"
width=400 height=300
>
</applet>
the class is compiled in right directory and package.
what is wrong?

I'd try it without setting codebase.
<applet

May not work but worth try.
(T)

Could the applet tag be any more unintuitive?

I've got an html file that's in the same directory as my jar file, WebUpload.jar.
WebUpload.jar has the class WebUploadUI.
The class WebUploadUI is in the package fileTransfer.
So... what's the applet tag to load this?
<applet codebase="." code="fileTransfer/WebUploadUI.class" archive="WebUpload.jar" width=250 height=130>
Doesn't work. I find it hilarious I can write a multithreaded client socket without much trouble but I can't figure this out.

There are examples and explanations here:

Accessing a File within a zip, which was archived using Applet Tag

Hi,
Could Any one please tell me, How to Access a File from within an Applet. The File resides inside a zip which was Archived using <Applet> Tag.
Actually, I want to write an application which runs both online and offline. So I have chosen Applet and All the files Which I need are zipped and is Archived through <Applet ARCHIVE="example.zip">.
Now I want to access those XML files which are inside example.zip from my Applet.
How can I do that?
I think I will get security Exception.
How to get rid of this security Exception.
Kindly Answer soon.......
It's very urgent.
Thanking you,
KumudaRaj

Did you already try signing a jarfile? If no ->>
You can call a class inside a jar-file within the applet.
if this class should be able to acces files the jarfile
first has to be signed. to do this, you must generate a key.
the complete work:
1. write your applet
2. write a html-page with following code:
<APPLET code="guestbook.class" archive="guestbook.jar" width=600 height=400></APPLET>
3. make a zip-file with the guestbook.class, guestbook.form, guestbook$1.class, guestbook$... and rename it to guestbook.jar
4. in the console type:
keytool -genkey -alias YOURNAME
5. sign the key to your jarfile with:
jarsigner guestbook.jar YOURNAME
6. try the applet. a warning should appear which you have to answer
with YES then it should work
my trouble is that i cant acces files anyway because right now i don�t
alreadv have the clue to get the right (absolute?) path for the file. means i get an ioexception because the applet cant find the file :-((
does anyone know how to solve this problem then? my code is:
FileReader Stream = new FileReader("/members/Ui97u8g4f6b89mj90kh5gbr4ecf6KXC4/guestbook.txt");

APPLET tag issue

SteveHello
Any further suggestions on this please.
I also have a query concerning Appletviewer. When I try to see my applet through DOS using aooletviewer (as opposed to looking at the HTML page - which doesn't show the applet anyway - maybe this is related to the post I have sent above), it doesn't work. It's as if DOS thinks the appletviwer is not in the c/java/bin directory (but it is).
Any advice, please.

Applet tag

Hi guys i'm having a bit of a problem with an applet.
I have an applet i am trying to run which imports one of my own classes from a different package. When i run this applet i get a NoClassDefFoundError on this imported class. I dont understand what the problem is, the classpath should be fine, i have had no problem using this class before and although i'm not to familiar with html i don't think i need to mention my imported class in the tag since the std java classes import ok.
just wondered if anyone could shed some light on the matter.
I would rather not use a jar file.
cheers
steve

My applet tag looks like:
<APPLET CODE="MyClass.class" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=300>
<\APPLET>
now the problem i have is that appletviewer, or any of my browsers, cannot find a class 'utilities.MyUtil.class' that i have in a different path, which 'MyClass.class' needs, resulting in a NoClassDefFoundError.
after looking at an applet tutorial i thought that this maybe impossible without a jar file because of the security restrictions of applets.
i would be deeply indebted to you if you tell me this is not the case!

applet tag regarding JAR file

Is there something wrong with the following applet declaration?
<applet code = "Sheep2.class" archive="Sheep2.jar" width = 500 height = 300
ALT="If you could run this applet, you'd see a sky, a field, and a moon.">
Your browser is completely ignoring the <APPLET> tag!
</applet>
Works fine (it seems) on my Windows 98 computer with IE 6.0280, but does not work on the same computer when I access the page calling the applet using AOL's v.9 browser.
I used HtmlConverter to convert the above to Extended version (covering all platforms), and still does not work with AOL's browser. HtmlConverter reported no errors, but now IE shows an error icon in its status bar when I access the page even offline.
Other html files I converted using HtmlConverter work fine with AOL's browser. They don't have "archive" attribute.
What could be going wrong? My guess is JAR file reference is causing problems.

I did more Html Conversion today. I ran one file which didn't show any error mark in the status bar of IE through HtmlConverter. I ran the new file generated by HtmlConverter and an error icon appeared in the status bar of IE. My Java Console didn't show any message. So, it must be an error in the applet related info HtmlConverter generated was not 100% html compliant..
BTW, I started speculating the cause of my applets not working on the computer of oen of my friends is simply that her Java Plug-in cannot handle Swing components' J classes.

How to make pack200 work with applet tag ?

Hello All,
Sorry for the cross-post.
I tired getting the advise on java.net forum but with no success. Can someone here please help with this or direct me to right direction.
I am trying to use the pack200 compressed jars for my Object/Applet tag, but not sure how to go about using it.
I have followed the instructions for jarsigned pack200 jars.

something like :
<PARAM NAME = CACHE_ARCHIVE VALUE = "final.jar" />
or :
<PARAM NAME = CACHE_ARCHIVE VALUE = "final.jar.pack.gz" />
renaming : final.jar.pack.gz --> final.jar ??
I tried both the above options but none of them works.

JSP applet tag X Html applet tag (what is the difference?)

what is the advantage in using the JSP applet tag instead of a simple Html applet tag ?
second question:
I have an applet in a Html frame, and a menu on the left side.... When the user select the applet option at first time, everything runs ok.. after the user select another option and then select the applet again, it fails in some features .. Why ?

well, if by "the JSP applet tag", you mean the jsp:plugin tag.. that will just generate the same HTML tag you would write. The only advantage would be it should be less typing to use the taglib.
second answer:
without seeing any code, it'd be hard to figure out the problem. The obvious thing is you are setting some state of something that is preventing further action.
